This adaptation streamlines the usage of a pot and baking dish in the original and requires only a single ovenproof skillet. The dish tastes just the same and reflects Ms. DeKnight's commitment to fresh ingredients and vibrants flavors in her cooking.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 to 8 carrots, peeled
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon butter
Salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Fill an ovenproof skillet that can fit the carrots with 1 to 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add the carrots and add more water if needed to cover the carrots. Reduce the heat to simmer the carrots until they're tender but not soft, about 15 minutes.
  • Pour the water out of the skillet, keeping the carrots in the skillet by holding them back with a spatula. Add the juice, honey and butter to the skillet and stir to mix (the butter may not melt all the way). Roll the carrots in the mixture, season them with salt and transfer to the oven.
  • Bake, gently rolling the carrots once, until the carrots are glazed, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose carrots that are firm and brightly colored. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
  • Peel and cut the carrots into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a large pot to cook the carrots. This will give them plenty of room to move around and cook evenly.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the carrots until they are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  • While the carrots are cooking, make the honey butter. In a small bowl, combine the butter, honey, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  • Once the carrots are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the honey butter and stir until the carrots are evenly coated.
  • Serve the honey-kissed mashed carrots immediately.

Conclusion:

Honey-kissed mashed carrots are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be prepared in just a few minutes. The honey butter adds a touch of sweetness and richness that makes these carrots irresistible. Serve them with your favorite main course or enjoy them as a snack.
